Everybody take a breath! Round 1 of the 2014 NBA Playoffs are over and its on to Round 2, but what an opening round we saw! Five of the eight first-round series went to seven games, with the No. 1 seed in each conference barely escaping. The young, upstart Washington Wizards knocked off the Chicago Bulls and now square off with the East's No. 1 team. The Nets survived in Toronto are out to prove their dominance over Miami in the regular season wasn't just that - regular season dominance. Speaking of the Heat, imagine what the Bobcats series might have been like if Al Jefferson didn't injure himself in the first quarter of Game 1. Does Tim Duncan have one more run in him, or is it time for celebration in Rip City? Will the scoreboard be able to keep up with the Thunder and the Clippers? If Round 2 is anything like Round 1, NBA fans across the globe should be glued to the seats. Oh, and how did our Round 1 predictions play out? Props first to Social Media Coordinator Eryn Gradwell for tying for the early lead with six correct predictions. Our intern Jace Darling also got six right but his tenure as our intern is over, moving Shane Skeary into the mix. Me? I started strong in the East but apparently had no idea of what was happening out West and finished with five correct predictions, as did radio play-by-play announcer Scott Lauer. Our most veteran picker, TV play-by-play announcer Steve Martin didn't fair so well either, picking up just four correct guesses. But its still anybody's game from here, so let's see what happens in Round 2...
